Art Nouveau Jewelry Design

Hi everyone, Lyn from LynzCraftz here with a somewhat surprising project today...jewelry! I wanted to reproduce a rather complex piece of jewelry I had just created, from resin. First off I'll share the original piece of jewelry I created...

All polymer clay & inspired by the Designer Rene' Lalique it is unfortunately rather heavy so I thought why not create one from Amazing Casting resin?
First I started with the frame...I created the frame, baked it, then I used Amazing Mold Putty to reproduce it.



Then using Amazing Casting Resin, I poured it & let it cure. I did the same steps for the faux glass section, this time using Amazing Clear Cast Resin & a bit of Alumilite Dye.

Looking good so far, right?


Using Alumilite Metallic Powder in Silver on the first one when I poured the resin, the second one I decided to paint the frame a rich yummy Bronze. I love the different finishes that can be achieved this way. The look of clear or frosted glass especially comes across so nicely. This was such a fun project I'm looking forward to the next one!

                                                    What combos could you think of?

Well that's it for another day...as usual you can find my work on my blog LynzCraftz , on YouTube LynzCraftz , as well as FaceBook LynzCraftz .

  1. This is unique, I understand copper is a cheap metal but I love the color!
